Many studies have investigated the relationship between obligatory runners and eating disorder characteristics. Unfortunately, many studies have failed to consider the effect of menstrual status among females in these studies. The present study examined the psychological status and eating characteristics among amenorrheic runners, eumenorrheic runners, and eumenorrheic sedentary women. The results of the study indicated that there were no significant differences between groups on any of the psychological measures but there was a subgroup of amenorrheic runners who scored in the extreme range on the depression and eating disorder measures. There may be a subgroup of amenorrheic runners who have a significant psychiatric disorder although it is unclear whether it is a major depression or anorexia nervosa. Longitudinal studies are needed to fully understand the interaction between excessive exercise, eating disorders, and depression.
许多研究调查了经常跑步者与饮食失调特征之间的关系。遗憾的是，这些研究中有许多未能考虑女性月经状况的影响。本研究调查了闭经跑步者、月经正常跑步者和月经正常久坐女性的心理状况和饮食特征。研究结果表明，在任何心理测量指标上，各组之间均无显著差异，但有一组闭经跑步者在抑郁和饮食失调测量指标上得分处于极端范围。可能有一部分闭经跑步者患有严重的精神疾病，尽管尚不清楚是重度抑郁症还是神经性厌食症。需要进行纵向研究以全面了解过度运动、饮食失调和抑郁症之间的相互作用。
